I watched some of Junior vs Leverk. He had a solid journeyman performance with nice passing from Mikey, but the game was a little boring. Junior was marking the man on the left side of the box, who shot a 18-20 yard shot to set up ther Leverk goal – not Junior’s fault IMHO…the keeper pushed the shot forward at an angle toward the right side of the 6 yd box rather than wide, which set up a rebound shot and the goal.

Watched the Hannover game. Steve did well. Didn’t get forward as much as he usually does, but that has to do with keeping Bochum from coming back. There were a few times during the game that the Hannover fans that traveled were chanting USA, USA.

Clark played and lost. Saw a couple of shots at goal in the 2nd half but wasn’t really following the game.

Leeds United are promoted to the Championship, nice to see them getting back on their feet. Eventually. Millwall and Charlton are representing south London’s charge for promotion via the play-offs – a very easy commute for the Palace (if either win!)…

Columbus-New England has been terrific. Crazy game. I cannot believe the chances Columbus has missed so far. I was about to write how I couldn’t believe the Crew weren’t already up 3-2, and just as I finish typing that very sentence Rogers scores. “It’s in the net,” as they say.

I’m pretty sure a record was broken or at least tied with weekend with the most goals scored in MLS play on one weekend. There were 24 goals scored in seven games. Can’t tell me the league isn’t exciting.

LD10 had three assists today and a goal (which was assisted by Buddle). Interestingly, Arena sub off both Buddle and LD around the 70th minute … hopefully he is thinking about the USMNT call up after next week’s game.

Just saw highlights……Barcelona really got caught with their pants down on that quick restart. Smart play by Sevilla. Sorry to see it didn’t incite a better reaction from Guardiola. It looked like he almost broke his arm elbowing the crap out of the bench shelter on the first goal. Gotta love the theatrics.

King looks fit for the cup with four in a row now, even though Burnley tore the defense apart today. First team to score four against us in all competitions…on the last day nonetheless. Well done to the Clarets. Also, what a filthy, filthy goal from Luka Modric. Even some Burnley fans were grinning and applauding! A report of a five year contract extension came from the Sunday mirror today. Two snubs for Fergie now.
